text: SEEKING FREELANCER(S) | Atlanta, GA, USA | Remote OK<p>My startup does three things:<p>1) FakeYou.com is a deep fake cartoon and celebrity text to speech and video generation tool used for making memes.<p>2) I&#x27;m in the process of standing up Storyteller.io, which enables the monetized use of TTS and deepfake video in Twitch, YouTube Gaming, Reddit, and other streaming communities.<p>3) We have an engine for virtual production: Unreal Engine + motion capture + volumetric capture for cinematic-quality VTuber streams with audience interaction and participation.<p>All of these tools play extremely well together.<p>I&#x27;m looking for the following skill sets, and help with any of them would be fantastic:<p>- Unreal Engine (C++ or animation experience)<p>- Pytorch &#x2F; ML with a focus on 3D and spatial applications, posture estimation, and 3D generative models. You don&#x27;t have to be an active researcher, but being able to implement the top papers (or adapt and train published code) is good.<p>- Rust. Our backend stack is entirely Rust &#x2F; Actix. Our volumetric capture system is Rust, too.<p>This is entirely self-funded, but I&#x27;m gearing up for applying to YC Summer 2022. I&#x27;ve also got a few other VC leads. This could potentially turn into an FTE position with equity.<p>Please reach out if you&#x27;re interesting in &quot;storytelling&quot; and creative coding. This is not going to be a boring job.<p>email: echelon at gmail<p>twitter DM: echelon
